Slack Tide.

"Theres a moment sailors called 'Slack tide' when the tide is neither coming in nor going out, but perfectly still. Its a moment frozen in time, where all is calm and peaceful. The only downside to it is that it passes so quickly. As much as we might like somethings to remain suspended in time, they never do."



Problems



We all have them, right? Big - small. Life changing - Not important in the long run. (though somehow somewhere in my heart I do believe that each and every one of them has a long lasting effect on us.) When faced with one, you can react in so many different ways. But do they ever stop raining down on us? I feel like that unlucky dude with a grey cloud always above my head.
Funny thing is, we kind of make things worse for ourselves. I mean unless you're living in a home where there are certain circumstances you can't help, or you have cancer, or you were living in the wrong part of Japan about a month back (You get my point). But even then, the way we choose to deal with our so called "problems" depends on us.
Some people say that after the bad times come the good times, you know all the silver lining theory and what not. But today I realized that things just don't work that way. Sure, you can have a perfect moment, or two. But sooner or later, somethings bound to go wrong; Problems never end. Its upto you to learn how to be happy anyway, no matter what. That grey clouds always gonna be there, out with the umbrellas!
